A Los Angeles home owned by LeBron James was vandalized Wednesday morning, the n-word spray-painted on its front gate, according to TMZ. Los Angeles police confirmed the vandalism to USA Today, though the spokesperson didn't offer specifics on what racial slur was used. The Cleveland Cavaliers player, whose primary home during the NBA season is in Ohio, was not at the Brentwood home at the time, and TMZ says it "does not appear he lives there on any regular basis." Property management has already covered over the racial slur, and police are investigating the incident as a hate crime.

So? Someone spray painted an insult on a wall. I was called all kinds of names in my time..some racially motivated (I'm a white girl who told the black guys hitting on me to get lost and they took it badly), and I'm alive and kicking. Why are the blacks so embarrassingly sensitive the life's most so what moments? Seems to me the and the people who keep codding and appeasing them need to grow up.

Cannot wait until they find that the person who did this was a minority who is just a Warriors fan. Lebron James is trash and has been nothing but controversy since he was selected by the NBA to ride the success of teams he jumps to but nobody deserves their property to be taken or vandalized. Granted, yes, he supports taking everyone else's property with his support of high taxes, government intrusion, and notorious "posses" that storm restaurants, rack up huge bills, and leave not paying because they should be "honored to server him." However, I am above that and do not think anyone should take his property and vandalize it. Maybe it was one of his many mistresses though that he gathered in the years not marrying his girlfriend? I'm still leaning towards just a Warriors fan.

Dang! He lives in LA? Thought he lived on the east coast somewhere. Bad news. LAPD had better start reviewing surveillance in that upitty neighborhood.
